The value of the coverage depends on the total cost of your trip package, but if you were to purchase insurance separately it might amount to several hundred dollars or more. Maximum savings are $2,000.

The fine print: You must pay in full at time of booking to receive the free insurance coverage. You can combine this offer with Viking's Past Guest Discount, but no other discount offers.

To book, call Viking at 877/668-4546 or a travel agent and ask for offer 27Echo. For more information on Viking River Cruises, go to its website by clicking here.

About Me

As a travel writer for major magazines and guidebooks, I've developed a passion for cruising -- to
Alaska, Hawaii, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the South China Sea, the South Pacific, the Amazon, Patagonia and Cape Horn, and many points beyond.
I'm now publisher of SmarterCruising.com, where you can find loads of information on how to save money on cruises and make your entire cruise vacation as smooth as possible.
When I'm not out exploring the world by ship, I live near the Delaware River in upstate New York with my wife, Catharine; our cats, Rocky and Jake; and two kayaks.
